Re: [RBW] Bosco shifter placement
Here some pictures of how shifters are placed. Accessible, reasonable protected, yet completely out of the way for all useable hand positions.

but would clutter the aero hand position, no? On Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at 8:46:27 AM UTC-7, Bill Lindsay wrote: It's completely out of the way for using a bunch of hand positions.

Re: [RBW] Bosco shifter placement
Thats not a bad idea, Bill. I'm assuming you're happy w/ that setup?

[RBW] Bosco shifter placement
For those of you riding bosco bars, where do you place the shifters? Thinking about a cockpit swap on my Sam, and wondering if bar ends or thumbies are the way to go, and if thumbies where to put them? Consequently, if anyone has a bosco cockpit (all or whole) they're interested in selling, let me know ;) I need the bars (looking at the 52), stem (don't know length, I run 8cm on my albastaches), brake levers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Bar ends are ergonomically great but in a vulnerable position. On boscos I like to put my thumbies about 2/3rds down on the downsloping section and angle them in a little. It is real estate typically not used anyway and a more protected spot - at least for how my bike falls. Still very easy to reach too.
